Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large egg, slightly beaten
- 4 cups cooked white rice
- ½ cup peas
- ½ cup carrots, cut into ½-inch dice and blanched in boiling water for 1 minute
- ½ cup diced mushrooms
- ¾ cup cooked shrimp
- ¾ cup diced barbecued or cooked chicken
- 2 green onions, with tops, diced
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
Instructions
-
Heat a wok or nonstick skillet over high heat, add the vegetable oil, and stir-fry the egg. Cook the egg to soft scramble. If the rice has just been cooked, fluff with a fork to allow steam to escape and the rice to cool before adding to the wok. After the rice is added, stir constantly and cook for 2 minutes (turn the heat down if the rice starts to stick to the bottom).
-
Add the peas, diced carrots, diced mushrooms, shrimp, barbecued chicken, green onions, and oyster sauce. Stir until well mixed and the vegetables are hot, about 1 minute. Serve.
